Hideki
Kamiya, the man responsible for games such as Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, has
become a living legend in the world of stylish action games developers. So when
he presented the first gameplay's personnel for Scalebound this year Gamescom,
many people were surprised to find that it's slower-paced, Action / RPG. Kamiya
obviously has a penchant for fast-paced action, but he also worked on games
like Okami and Resident Evil, that slow things down. For Scalebound, Kamiya was
ready for a change of pace and to venture into new territory with the
full-scale RPG.

Kamiya is
known for the fact that he left the imprint of his hands on any creative
project to which touched. Scalebound should not be any different. Hence, Drew,
a man from the earth, which was transported to a fantasy world called Dragon.
Once there, he connects with a dragon and a pair of working together in combat.
Here are the most interesting things that we have learned about the upcoming
RPG Platinum Games.

The main
action of the game takes place around the relationship of Drew and his dragon,
Thuban. Hand Drew scaled dragon, which symbolizes the fact that it is associated
with the dragon. This connection allows them to work together and share in the
battles vitality. The player controls Drew and A.I. cares about Thuban.
However, you can give instructions for Thuban, for example, indicate to him the
purpose or order to restrain all the enemies (or one - as needed).

Drew uses
normal human weapons: a sword, a spear, a bow and arrow. At the bottom of the
screen is the sensor, showing the strength of weapons, so you have to watch
him, that in the midst of battle suddenly discover that your favorite (or only
even worse) the sword broke and you were unarmed.

World
Dragon developed energy source called pulse. This energy and fuel living
things, this means Drew - through his hands Dragon - a pulse energy in it. It
can push the pulse energy of his hands to harm enemies.

Drew is not
just dependent on the weapons he can use various devices - such as stun mines
to paralyze several enemies at once, or hook-cat to quickly hide from enemies.
Drew can also be transformed into the power of the dragon-shaped, which allows
it to deliver strong attacks over time.

After the
victory over the enemy Drew can use the power of the pulse, to collect the
remains of the precious stones. This is a game valet, which is used to purchase
weapons, items and settings dragon. Be careful: if you use your dragon to kill
enemies and picking up dead bodies decompose gems becomes impossible.

Thuban can
help, too, out of combat. For example, it can destroy the obstacle that Drew
can not avoid - such as the trunk of a huge tree blocking the road.

At the
press conference it was demonstrated by Microsoft co-op for four players in
Scalebound. Platinum Games refused to comment on it.

Let's sum
up. At this point in the game there are: the acquisition of skins, armor, the use
of skills and abilities, great battles, control the evolution and life of your
dragon. Setup is very extensive, especially on how you build your character.

That's all
I remember from the presentation Scalebound at Gamescom. At first I was not
sure that the studio makes a really good game, but after watching the trailer I
possessed in optimism. I'm a little worried about Drew - he went a little
irritable in the trailer. I hope that soon Platinum Games will provide even
more information about the game and will tell more about the co-op.
